Edith Jump

Edith went to Birmingham
Edith went to France,
Edith met a polar bear
Who taught her how to dance.

She danced a little Tango
She danced the Boogaloo,
She danced the foxtrot
Then she came
Waltzing back to you.

In the middle of Lidl

In the middle of Lidl you can buy a blue hat,
And a set of pink forks and a coat for a cat.
You can buy some green slippers or some bits for a drill,
You can buy some big bowls or some buckets to fill.
There are magnetic lights and boxes of logs
And bright purple collars for foxes or dogs.

In the middle of Lidl there are packets of screws,
There are scarves and pyjamas and working men's shoes.
There are jackets and maps and cutlery trays,
Umbrellas and wellies for rainy, wet days.
There are glue sticks and books and a pulse oximeter,
Six patch work quilts and an oil fire heater.

In the middle of Lidl there are t-shirts and toys,
There are headphones and speakers and drums for more noise.
There are helmets for skiing and all purpose mats,
There are soft, cuddly teddies stuffed rhinos and rats.
There are hot water bottles and bright fairy wings,
There are rows upon rows of peculiar things.

In the middle of Lidl there are fountains and floats
And pairs of pink leggings for fashionable goats.
There are green kites and anchors and traps for a fly,
And blue crochet Leprechauns six pencils high.
There are dice that can tell you what's right and what's wrong
And a pump-up pink mattress that's two metres long.

In the middle of Lidl you can get a new phone,
And lots of strange things that are perfect to own.
There are books filled with paper and pens for a poet,
And things you have needed when you didn't even know it.
So get out your money and then follow me,
To the middle of Lidl, where I'm sure you'll agree.
There is something for everyone, even for you,
In the middle of Lidl your dreams will come true.
